Chapter 168: Sealing the Hard Drive Ghost
The next day, in a hotel in Mubei City.

Chen Xin summoned the cloth dog.

Different from the two palm-sized cloth dogs made by Wan Cai, Chen Xin’s cloth dog is a smaller black dog that looks like a pendant on a keychain!

I don’t know what kind of fabric it is made of, but it looks and feels like a real dog.

After placing the cloth dog on the table and observing it for a while, Chen Xin opened the dressing box and took out the hard drive.

"Unknown User 1: What did you lock me in? It's too stuffy. Can't you just leave me outside?"

"Unknown User 2: Not for now, you are a ghost after all."

"Unknown User 1: ...Okay, then why are you releasing me now? Have you found my family?"

"Unknown User 2: Not yet. I'm still in class. I'll go visit your family on the weekend."

"Unknown User 2: I called you out to discuss something with you."

「Unknown User 1: What?」

“Unknown User 2: I have something here that can allow you to leave your hard drive and exist in another way. Do you want to try it?”

「Unknown User 1: Hmm? In what form?」

Chen Xin held the dog in front of the laptop's camera and shook it.

"Unknown User 2: Enter this little dog."

"Unknown User 1: Can I come in?"

"Unknown User 2: Yes, you can, and you can get out, but the process of getting out may not be pleasant, so you have to be prepared. After you go in, you don't have to be put in the box anymore, and you can walk around the world as a dog... Are you willing?"

"Unknown User 1: Being a dog?"

"Unknown User 2: In a sense, that's true."

"Unknown User 1: Just be a role. I've been one before when I was still a human being."

Chen Xin was puzzled, but did not investigate further.

Holding the cloth dog, Chen Xin threw it at the hard drive.

puff!
The dog fell on the hard drive, and a chilling aura flashed across the air.

Chen Xin took the cloth dog in his hand, looked at the disappearing chat box on the computer, and sighed in his heart.

"After entering the dog, the Hard Drive Ghost's abilities disappeared... It seems that we can't get away from its body."

Although disappointed, Chen Xin continued his experiment.

Taking out a wooden bead, Chen Xin brought it close to the cloth dog.

The power of Qi and blood appeared in his hands, and Chen Xin forced the Yin Qi in the wooden beads towards the cloth dog.

The moment it came into contact with the Yin energy, the cloth dog swelled and grew bigger.

In a blink of an eye, a big black dog about 1.5 meters long and 60 centimeters tall at the shoulder appeared in front of Chen Xin.

The skin is obviously made of cloth, but now it looks like a real dog.

The black dog seemed stunned after it appeared.

He looked down at his body and tried to take a few steps. Then, a hint of excitement appeared in the black dog's scarlet eyes!
I saw it running around the room happily, on the bed, the sofa, and even on the walls and ceiling!
It ran wherever it could.

At one point when Bu Gouqi passed by him, Chen Xin shouted "Stop"!
It was as if a spell of immobilization was cast, and the dog stopped directly without even any braking distance!

Just when Chen Xin was satisfied with the obedience of the dog, a familiar pop-up window appeared on the computer screen.

"Unknown User 1: What's going on? Why is my body not responding to my commands?"

Chen Xin was stunned and immediately started typing on the keyboard.

"Unknown User 2: Do you still have the ability to hack into computers?"

"Unknown User 1: Yeah! Before, when I couldn't move, I could only look outside and couldn't hack into the computer, but when I turned into a big dog, my abilities were restored."

After hearing what the hard drive ghost said, Chen Xin raised the ranking of the cloth dog among the talismans.

If this is the case, it means that after the cloth dog is triggered, it can use the original abilities of the ghost in its body, which is definitely a good thing for Chen Xin!
Just as Chen Xin was thinking, another sentence appeared in the pop-up window.

"Unknown User 1: It seems that the scope of my intrusion into computers has also expanded... I can also control the computer next door."

"Unknown User 2: Huh? What do you mean? You couldn't control it before? Didn't you control many computers in the Internet cafe?"

"Unknown User 1: You can understand it this way. Before, the range of my control over the computer was centered on myself. Within a radius of ten meters, I could control all the computers within this range. Once I control that computer, I can control all the computers within a radius of ten meters with that computer as the center... Do you understand?"

Chen Xin nodded.

"Unknown User 1: And now, I find that I can control computers within a -meter radius of myself... Oh, not just computers, but electronic products."

One hundred meters?

Chen Xin looked at the dog.

This means that ghosts can not only use their own abilities, but also have their abilities enhanced by the dogs!

The hard drive ghost was just a wandering soul-level ghost before, but after entering the cloth dog, he was upgraded to the level of a fierce ghost?
This is similar to the effect on the paper wadding of a mourning staff!

When Chen Xin was about to type in the chat box, the chat box suddenly disappeared.

After a moment's pause, Chen Xin looked at the cloth dog next to him that had shrunk and transformed back into its original shape.

"It can only last for five minutes once triggered... If it is placed in the underworld, it should last forever. However, there are no electronic products in the underworld. But the dog can do more than just seal the hard drive ghost. It can be replaced at any time."

After noting this, Chen Xin did not continue to use the wooden beads to trigger the hunting dog, but took out the mourning stick.

After using the Sorrow Staff to summon the soul on the hard drive, the chat box on Chen Xin's computer reappeared. "Unknown User 1: What's going on? Why am I back again? I want to be a dog! A big dog!"

Chen Xin looked at the hard drive ghost's words and laughed.

After using the "Soul Calling" skill on innate Yin objects and other objects that contain souls, the mourning staff can summon ghosts that have died or have not yet condensed as wandering souls.

But what if you use the Soul Summoning method directly on the ghost that has not yet died?

Chen Xin had never tried it before, but this time, he just tried it with the hard drive ghost.

The result was just as he imagined. By summoning the soul of the ghost before its original body had died, he could summon the ghost directly into its original body.

The priority of the Sorrow Staff's Soul Summoning is even higher than that of the Butcher Dog's Soul Sealing!

Of course, it may also be because the level of the staff of mourning is higher than that of the dog.

After Bu Gou reaches the level of Yin Shuai, whether the Ai Zhang can still successfully summon souls is another matter.

But no matter what, this is a good thing for Chen Xin.

At least he didn't have to destroy the souls of the Butterfly Dog or the Hard Drive Ghost in order to re-condense the Hard Drive Ghost with its body.

"Unknown User 1: Hey! Why aren't you talking?"

"Unknown User 2: I'm doing a test. The cloth dog doesn't last long, and the changed size is too conspicuous. After all, you are a ghost, so you should be more restrained. So in the future, I will only put you into the cloth dog when I need you. At other times, you will still exist in the form of a hard drive."

"Unknown User 1: Huh? So I have to stay in the box forever?"

"Unknown User 2: I don't know. Once I upgrade the dog, maybe you can use its abilities without growing bigger."

"Unknown User 1: How long will this take?"

"Unknown User 2: It will be quick. Once I catch and kill about water ghosts, it will be done."

"Unknown User 1: ...What do you mean, a lot of ghosts?"

"Unknown User 2: Well, I guess so. At least in my opinion, there are ghosts everywhere in Daxia."

"Unknown User 1: I thought I was the only one, but it seems even a ghost can't be the first."

Chen Xin looked strange and continued typing.

"Unknown User 2: Come to think of it, you are truly unique, or rather, the only one I have seen so far."

「Unknown User 1: What do you mean?」

"Unknown User 2: Other ghosts don't have your human consciousness. In their eyes, apart from their obsessions, anyone they meet will basically be attacked by them... Do you remember the power in your body when you turned into a cloth dog just now?"

"Unknown User 1: I remember. It was very powerful. I felt like I could punch a hole in the wall."

"Unknown User 2: It's fake, but it's still easy for you to kill a person, and there are many ghosts like you."

"Unknown User 1: Ah? Then wouldn't my family be in danger?"

“Unknown User 2: In two days, I will send something to your family in the name of your friend. They can protect your family.”

"Unknown User 1: Thank you... I don't know your name yet."

"Unknown user 2: Chen Xin."

"Qi Xu: Hello, Chen Xin, my name is Qi Xu."

"Chen Xin: Hello."

"Chen Xin: Change your nickname. Don't use my real name. Don't use your real name either. Let me think... You can be called Jiuri, and I'll be called... Yanluo."

"9th day: Changed."

"Yan Luo: That's it for now, we'll contact you later... By the way, can you control the camera?"

"Nine Days: Yes."

"Yan Luo: Is there one in this room?"

"Nine days: Yes."

Chen Xin was stunned and his face changed drastically.

"Yan Luo: Where? Can you clear out the things inside?"

"Jiu Ri: It can be cleared. As for the location, it's in the toilet... Damn, so perverted. I have changed all the videos in it into scenes from horror movies."

Chen Xin breathed a sigh of relief and felt even more satisfied with the hard drive ghost... oh, it was Jiuri.

When we get back, I'll ask Jiuri to check if there are any cameras or other equipment in the dormitory, so that we don't have to run out again.

Chen Xin put the hard drive into his dressing case and left the hotel.

……

Around 11 o'clock in the evening, a figure pushed the hotel cleaning cart to the room where Chen Xin had stayed. After looking around, he opened the door.

Half a minute later, a terrified scream was heard from the room, attracting residents from other rooms in the hotel to check.

After entering, they saw a wretched middle-aged man sitting on the ground with a mobile phone in his hand, and a data cable sticking out next to the toilet.

Immediately, someone went back to his room to check.

Soon, the police arrived and "rescued" the wretched middle-aged man who was almost beaten to death.
